Sailor Bob is the Best There Is

Bob Adamson was a student of Nisargadatta Maharaj in the 70s. He saw what was being pointed out then, and he has subsequently been living it and talking about it for forty years. He deftly communicates this understanding in a way that allows the ready ones to hear what is being pointed out, and to get to the bottom of the nagging spiritual dissatisfaction that plagues them. Bob cleanly cuts to the core of false assumptions and allows one to recognize the freedom that is always present and always has been. If you are ready for the search to be over, you've found a great guy to help you. Bob Adamson is a living sage and a true shining beacon for those who are tired of seeking. Find out for yourself.

Stop, this is it . . .

Don't allow your mind to be put off by the "Sailor Bob" moniker. He is the real deal. Over the years, I've read what seems like hundreds of books on higher consciousness and spirituality. Very few have offered the clear and direct message contained in this little book. This is the essence of, That I Am. Some may dismiss it as being over-simplistic and feel the need for a sledgehammer approach. Not necessary, or helpful. Do yourself a big favor and read the book. Then Stop, and be what you are.

You will not find the simple truth stated so clearly anywhere else.

This is one of the most awesome books I have ever read and has prompted me to look for everything else Sailor Bob has written. The title alone is enough to meditate on and find a firmer footing from which to face this ever changing world of which we are a part. If the real truth is what you seek, you will find it on the pages in this book. In my heart, I wish everyone could have a copy to read over and over again. The world would transform into a much saner place.

This guy is the real thing

I had the good fortune to meet Sailor Bob during his US tour. His message really is as simple and direct and convincing as people say. Check out his website, follow the links, look for what never changes in you despite all the experiences and difficulties and changes you experience. Ask youself, "What's wrong with right now unless you think about it?" He was a student of Nisargadatta in the 70's, and has a similar precision to his scalpel, but with kindness and approachability. His message that I heard is that you can take the day off; you are "there" now. Here is "there", and "here" is all there is.

~from a great 'tradition' comes a very ordinary teacher who destroys ignorance ~

"What's Wrong with Right Now ... Unless You Think About It?" -by "Sailor" Bob Adamson "Sailor" Bob is, in a word, the Real Deal. Like his Teacher, Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj (whose Teachings were popularized in the book "I Am That" from Acorn Press), Bob points unwaveringly to what is Real ... Are you Present and aware? Can you ever say you do not exist? There must be awareness itself to say 'I am not aware!" At the same time Bob shows us what is NOT real. "Are you separate, an entity? Find it and show it to me." This approach is in the time-tested tradition called "Advaita," yet Bob steadfastly refuses the title of Guru and eschews the whole idea of a Guru and a Disciple as ignorance and duality. The guy is Bang ON. So what is a visitor or reader left with? Initially, A great and Wise FRIEND ... a Guide to the Reality ... beyond the dream of "me in a world." ULTIMATELY? Nothing at all. That is what we are ... No Thing. Arising as Every Thing. You are all that is. There is no actual "separation" unless there is a thought of separation ... and when the thought is seen as ONLY a though, like clouds in a perfect empty sky ...the seeker evaporates and it's all over. Then Livingness itself is a celebration. The word Advaita means "Not Two," which is a rigorous pointer to what Bob calls "One-Without-A-Second" or simply, THAT. All is That. That thou Art. I spent a few days with Bob in September 2005, and he left 'me' with no Guru, no Teaching, nothing to remember, and nothing to do. (Who would do anything?) In other words, Bob leaves us without US or ME or OTHER ... just AS That, which was sought since the dream of a separate person arrived at around age three. And that is That. Then as doubts and a stubborn refusal to look happened after I got back to California, a few phone calls with Bob (he is very generous with his time) and discussions with a few of his other students, "The Penny Dropped.) And a big laugh bubbled up as I relized there never WAS a penny or anywhere for dropping to happen. An now, alwways Now, nothing is wrong anymore, period. What an incredible gift from no one to no one. Get to Melbourne and see Bob if you can. He is a rare Treasure in a world of Half-Baked "Teachers of Oneness." With Bob, in person, via DVD or CD, and in this book (as well his other book "Presence Awareness), you may find that the seeker gradually (or suddenly) fades away, and what is left is Loving Being Awakeness, just this, and nothing else.
